Our redesigned product is to design a machine that can transmit our thoughts onto a computer to do things like writing papers, surfing the web, etc. (DZ) Our idea can be similar to other devices such as a lie detector test and stress tests which can tell when you live a stressful life or have a stressful job.
In japan a company neurowear designed a head bag that has cat ears and it can read your brain wave to sense if you are happy, sad, depressed, and angry. the ears are designed to move according to the mood of the wearer- TS- http://onestop-news.com/this-headbands-can-read-your-mind/924287.html/
Researchers have found a way to turn thoughts of the brain in to speech which can be used for many different types of people such as paralized people that can not speak and/or mute people and other people that have speech problems.
this uses a grid of tiny electrodes to connect to the brain completely- T.S
The Brain Walrus will be able to let the person to speak. -T.S
It will also be able to allow the user to type on the computer play games and any other thing that will use the USB input jack-T.S
The Brain Walrus uses the lastest technology to read brain waves and tell which waves are meant for movement, writing, speech, and many other brain functions. T.S
1. Thought transmitters were thought to be impossible by many and were commonly referred in science fiction. DZ
2. The basic idea of the thought transmitter is that the subject would wear a headband connected to the transmitter machine, which would send wavelengths to the human mind and transfer it onto the computer screen. DZ
3. This method can be used to write a paper, surf the web, chat online, etc. DZ
4. The web part would work by thinking about what the subject wants to do on the web. DZ
5. Just by thinking: "Go to google.com and search for 'iphone'," the machine will process the thought and make the computer obey the mind's command. DZ
6. Scientists had hoped to create thought transmitters back in the 1960's. DZ
1. A lie detector test measures the cardiovascular, respiratory, and sweat-gland systems to determine if a person is lying or telling the truth. DZ
2. Sweating, anxiety, breathing, and blood pressure are among the ways a lying person can be uncovered. DZ
3. The test works by attaching a headband to the subject, and the machine will record changes in body temperature, blood pressure, breathing, and such as stated above. DZ
4. These changes will appear on a graph in which the width will increase at the detection of lying. DZ
5. There are ways to cheat the test, however. DZ
A machine was created by scientists that was used by a teenage boy who suffered from epilepsy where he played several rounds of Space Invaders using only his mind DZ
This was achieved by wearing a grid atop his brain which records surface signals, which is a brain-machine interface technique that uses electrocorticographic (ECoG) activity DZ
Results were that the test subject won a few levels of Space Invaders DZ
Advancements in technology could help doctors communicate with patients suffering from a stroke.T.S.S
This brain-movie translator was able to identify the movie that produced a given brain signal 95 percent of the time, plus or minus one second in the clip, when given 400 seconds of clips to choose from.T.S.S
Even when the computer model was given 1 million seconds of clips, it picked the right second more than 75 percent of the time.T.S.S
With this accurate brain-to-movie-clip dictionary in hand, the researchers then introduced a new level of challenge. They gave the computer model 18 million seconds of new clips, all randomly downloaded from YouTube videos.T.S.S
None of the experiment participants had ever seen these clips.T.S.S
The mind-reading method is limited only to the basic visual areas of the brain, not the higher-functioning centers of thought and reason such as the frontal cortex.T.S.S
However, Gallant and his colleagues are working to build models that would mimic other brain areas.T.S.S
Reading thoughts, memories and dreams may not be as simple as decoding simple visual experiences.T.S.S
The link between how our brain processes what we see and how it processes what we imagine isn't clear.T.S.S
It’s possible that one day, your brain could talk to your computer. But it’s not as futuristic as it sounds.T.S.S
Soon, a brain-computer device could help patients, who have lost their ability to communicate, “talk” again.T.S.S
As long as a patient has a temporarysurgical implant, thinking of a sound is enough to move the cursor on a computer.T.S.S
Normally, brain-computer interfaces are designed to control muscles, by tapping into the brain’s motor networks.T.S.S
But those devices aren’t necessarily that good at helping patients communicate.T.S.S
Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis wanted to tap into the speech part of the brain to see if it was possible to translate thoughts into action.T.S.S
Sure, this device might sound creepy. But a technology that can turn thoughts into a command - and give people, who normally can’t communicate, a way to convey what they are thinking. That could be really life-changing.T.S.S
Obviously, the device can’t truly read minds. Recognizing an “a” sound is much different than unraveling what is happening in the brain. Now, if it could do that, the device would be utterly revealing.T.S.S

1. IBM has predicted that soon we won't need passwords anymore, so that devices will be able to read minds DZ
2. They also predicted that the digital divide will cease to exist, junk mail will become priority mail, and that people power will come to life. DZ
3. Basically, it's like the innovations from the movie, Minority Report, will come true. DZ
MEG Scanners DZ http://www.wired.com/medtech/health/multimedia/2007/01/wiredphotos12
1. Magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanners work by measuring the magnetic field by the brain. DZ
2. MEG scanners don't do a good job deciphering the brain's geography. DZ
3. MEG scanners can easily detect instantaneous changes in brain activity, so scientists can keep track of things that happen in milliseconds. DZ
1. Apple says that your mind and the computer become one with the iThink. DZ
2. The tiny internal holochip has an individual capacity of over 666 Yottabytes for seemingly infinite augmented memory. DZ
3.The Intra-neural Communication lets you mentally allow or block any kind of signal you want. DZ
4. It sports Intel Fusion™, Quantum Processing that uses the power of the atom to instantly compute at the speed of thought. DZ
1. People at T3 Magazine showcased a Wii headset that will allow players to control the game's characters and everything. DZ
2. They also shown a Wii remote that was streamlined in the shape of a pen with only one button. DZ
3. It works simply: just point at the screen with the Wii remote and press the button, and let your frontal lobes do the rest.
